(Excerpts from INDIA TODAY Magazine – Edition: March 20, 2006)

HIGH & MIGHTY – 50 POWER PEOPLE 20


India Inc. icons, media moguls, policy mavens and cultural impresarios. The power of elite 2006 is dominated by the dreamers and doers of a globalised society. 

Number 18: ADITYA CHOPRA (Producer)
Because Yash Raj Films (YRF) made Rs. 130 crore at the box office last year from three successive films. Because while Yash Chopra is the public face of the company, his son has quietly powered the company into distribution, audio, home video, and now a Rs 100-crore state-of-the-art air-conditioned studio, where interiors have been designed by wife Payal. Because his “must-watch-every-new-film-in-a-theatre-on-Friday” theory allows him to tap into contemporary culture. Because nothing in his company escapes his eagle eye, from the pictures sent to the media to the font on premiere invites. Because while other filmmakers say give the market what it wants, he says the market should want what he gives. Because he can make, or unmake, Bollywood stars. 

Master-of-the-universe move: 
Has invested in a film development and special projects division which works on scripts by new writers, surprising in an industry which puts wordsmiths at the bottom of the food chain.

Fetish: Never gets photographed or interviewed.
